Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width.

In this case, if the length is \( 5x + 4 \) and the width is \( 13 \), the area \( A \) can be expressed as:

\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = (5x + 4) \times 13
\]

Now, let's simplify this expression:

\[
A = 13(5x + 4)
\]

Distributing \( 13 \) gives:

\[
A = 13 \cdot 5x + 13 \cdot 4
\]

Calculating each term:

\[
A = 65x + 52
\]

Thus, the simplified expression for the area of the rectangle is:

\[
\text{Area} = 65x + 52
\]
